Re: the no MVP. Since this is a content-based startup, I think our MVP should be some sort of blog/tumblr to build an audience. Our content is our core product. We aren't doing anything novel in terms of technology. Right now we're building a platform around that content, but I think our efforts are better spent building an audience than building the platform.
That's a very good point about the unlimited funding. I am being paid, but I think the co-founder has deep pockets to keep this thing going. Which is almost unfortunate, because it means no one is desperate for this thing to be a success.
